Last May, it was announced that Guillermo del Toro and animation veteran Mark Gustafson (Fantastic Mr. Fox, The PJs) would co-direct a stop motion adaptation of Pinocchio for the Jim Henson Company. The film was based on a version of the story illustrated by Gris Grimly.
According to Bleeding Cool, Grimly posted a couple of tweets yesterday that implied the project is stalled:
Short to the point update on Pinocchio for those inquiring: It appears that this is not the right time for such a superior-adventurous flick

and then:
@thinkbaker There are people like us out there. But they look at numbers. Frankenweenie was a box office failure to them.

The tweets have since been deleted so perhaps Grimly’s announcement was premature. The production studio ShadowMachine still lists the project on their homepage. With Henry Selick’s stop-motion film also shut down last year, what other feature film stop-mo projects are still in production? If anyone knows more about what’s happening, do tell.
Wes Anderson + stop motion + robots? Sold.
This ad for Sony was animated bu the stop motion team at LAIKA/house with Fantastic Mr. Fox’s animation director Mark Gustafson.
Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox) returns to animation – stop-motion animation – to cleverly illustrate a child’s conception of how Sony’s Xperia smartphone works. The animation, created at Laika/house, was directed by stop motion veteran Mark Gustafson, who also directed the animation in Fantastic Mr. Fox. Tiny bits of behind-the-scenes footage here. Or just watch the commercial.
